Comcast advertising “10G” in hopes to confuse consumers to accept slower speeds::Comcast says Xfinity offers 10G home internet, but the term “10G” is hazy and potentially misleading—especially because it has no relation to 5G for cell phones.

    In what world are people getting that kind of speed on 5G? In like a lab with perfect conditions and non-consumer equipment?

    It’s right in your quote: “Peak theoretical throughput on an uncongested 5G network”

    It’s the theoretical limit of the technology, not real-world numbers.

      Theoretical limit is actually 70 Gbps which is even more laughable.

      Honestly this article is for the less tech savvy, which I doubt much, if any, of the current Lemmy user base qualify as. It’s not a horrible one as far as that goes.
